Update: Aero Wheel Cover Recall reason = making contact with tire sidewall, wearing down rubber

For anyone who wants to cover up the center and lug nuts in the meantime, these fit well:

Center caps

Lug nut covers

Thanks for sharing this. What size for the lug nut covers?

Fine with me. I'd much rather have my covers one month late than to have one fly off.

Now where is my VIN!.

Maybe too many Ninja's aero covers (aka Ninja Stars) were coming off??

Ninja Aero Covers slings from vehicle because of? -- Design flaw.

Maybe going to the other smaller version aero covers?

Good riddance.. didn’t like them anyway! The difference in range wouldn’t matter to me at all!

i sure hope not. Those are quite a bit less cool

With the connection to SpaceX, I think they should just redesign it for "baby moons"....

One set of us going; "baby moons?? WTF???"

Another set of us going; "Yeah, Baby!"

So is it actually a 'Recall', or just a production change where supplies are delayed? Are current Cybertruck owners getting notifications to bring their CT in to get their covers changed, or is it just a change for vehicle deliveries going forward? Are CT owners getting correspondence from Tesla with the word 'Recall' being used?

I'd be careful using that word with frivolous universal or false examples, unless something is being requested (recalled) for return to Tesla. We don't want to give NHTSA any more ideas to 'broaden' their (interpretation) of the word any further than they already have.

Yeah, I get that you didn't get everything you paid for, but it's better than Tesla halting all sales until they have the covers.

They should just stock pile the CTs at a yard and troll all the early reservation holders by not delivering them until they all had wheel covers.

I love how some people make a huge deal out of this. It’s a brand new model with literally ground breaking new technology and it has a minor issue with hubcaps??? lol. If you are super angry about this please sell your CyberTruck back to Tesla and let some more deserving human being enjoy it

Thanks for the links! Just to confirm, it's the 83mm center cap and 21mm hex lug nut covers?

lol what. This happens all the time. My Model S Plaid was delivered without floor mats and no parcel shelf.

Well - another issue just popped up. I was delivered my CT on the 24th without covers. No explanation other than they would be sending a tech to install the caps on the 1st.

Tomorrow is the 1st and I just received another message that they won’t be delivering becuase they are recalling all the covers and they won’t be delivering the caps until March.

this sounds a bit like nightmare you can’t make up. I get they are only the finish wheel hubs, but seems insane.

Anyone else having this issue?

"A Nightmare"?! You're a very early volunteer adopter/owner of the hottest commodity in sub-quarter million dollar vehicles, but you didn't expect any bumps in the road to your celebrity status?! Please tell me how awful it truly is to be the envy of your neighbors and anywhere you go?! If you're that concerned, just buy a set of ANY of the gorgeous aftermarket CT rims, transfer the tires and tell Tesla where they can put their silly aerocover. smh
